text: SF Bay Area | Remote OK<p>I&#x27;m seeking freelancers to help with two projects.<p>One is a website that implements my &#x27;programming language of poetry&#x27; for creating fractal verse.<p>On the back-end, functional programming experience is required, preferably Haskell. I&#x27;d like help implementing and open-sourcing the &#x27;programming language of poetry&#x27; interpreter and allowing for advanced revision control and keystroke tracking.<p>Experience with implementing programming languages and&#x2F;or Operational Transforms or Conflict-free Replicated Data Types a plus.<p>On the front-end I need help integrating with spotify and soundcloud, storage and smooth playback of every keystroke (along with the exact moment in musical time in which songs&#x2F;sets each keystroke occurred), wrapping the vue project in capacitor or a similar framework to allow it to be published to the ios and android app stores, and adding syntax highlighting to the Quill editor (specifically coloring matching parentheses&#x2F;brackets and highlighting those unmatched).<p>The other is a word-game -- I specifically need someone who is able to create slick, attractive text animations that &#x27;morph&#x27; between two words, but am also open to more general UX, game design, and back-end engineering help as well.<p>Reach out to ask if either project sounds interesting with a resume or LinkedIn to dev@thekeyunlocks.us and we&#x27;ll schedule an interview and demonstration. You can also check out <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.x.com&#x2F;the_key_unlocks" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.x.com&#x2F;the_key_unlocks</a> for demonstrations of the fractal poetry site that implements my programming language of poetry.

That boilerplate will be used as the foundation for the network of platforms I&#x27;m developing, and provide a an evolving robust foundation for all developers to tap into a growing base of customizable feature sets.<p>I&#x27;ll be eventually launching 100s of contextualized platforms, and arguably developing 1000s of feature sets; and then open up the primary platform for 3rd parties to integrate with as well.<p>Contact matt@engn.com
